"If you want to understand today, you have to search yesterday"*

CFI's regularly published analyses of federal campaign finance is built on the idea that to identify new developments, you have to look at consistent data over time, to compare what is, with what was.

Every campaign cycle, CFI produces regular analyses of congressional and presidential fundraising including trends by party, incumbent, challneger, and open seat status, as well as of the roles of individual donors and interest groups.
